Book your Carlsbad holiday
Holidays To Carlsbad
When you think of your California getaway, you probably imagine boardwalks stretching for miles, bikini-clad people playing beach volleyball and palm trees swaying in the breeze.
Carlsbad holiday packages are ready to introduce you to a West Coast town north of San Diego that looks just like that photo you have as your desktop background.
Things to Do in Carlsbad
You’re in a quintessential Southern California beach town, so there’s one thing you should obviously do on Carlsbad holidays—go to the beach! South Carlsbad State Beach is over 40 acres of smooth sand, blue waves and bluff-top picnic areas. Want a little more action? Carlsbad Lagoon has jet ski rentals and boat charters so you can wakeboard, water ski and more. This city’s beaches are one of the best reasons to stay here.
The train can get you to San Diego in under an hour, but a drive in one of Wotif’s Carlsbad car hire options is even faster, and just as scenic. Take a ghost tour of the Whaley House in Old Town (you might even meet Thomas Whaley himself), then grab a chai latte at the old country store and watch the period actors go by in the State Historic Park. Can’t get enough parks? Balboa Park is one of America’s best, with tons of gardens, walking paths and museums.
Shopping, Dining & Nightlife
All that cash you saved with Wotif’s Carlsbad deals burning a hole in your pocket? The Carlsbad Premium outlets can definitely take care of that for you. You’ll find all of your favourite brands, plus you’ll be surrounded by palm trees. If that’s not enough, head 10 km southeast to The Forum, another open-air mall with tons of luxury goods. And if spending Gs isn’t your thing, Carlsbad Village, in the north part of town, has tons of art galleries and funky boutiques, not to mention your next goal: food.
The cuisine you’ll find on your Carlsbad holiday is as award-winning as the beaches. Reinvented comfort food, modern American and San Diego brewpubs are all just steps away in Carlsbad Village. Build a food foundation for the nightlife to come with pizza, burgers or hearty Italian fare guaranteed to soak up the drinks in your future and give you energy for whatever comes next.
Carlsbad nightlife caters to the laid-back set, and if you love a holiday where you can fit right in with the locals, you’re in the right place. Watch the sunset from a waterfront restaurant with a mojito in hand, then head to the pub for darts and pool with your newfound friends. If you do want to get wild, though, just listen closely. You’ll hear country blues, live rock bands and yes, karaoke, pouring out of doorways along Grand Avenue.
